The Par-Tee site derives its name from its location in the rough of a Seaside, Oregon golf course. Robert Drucker, an amateur archaeologist, began excavating the site in the mid-1960s with the assistance of the Oregon Archaeological Society. During the early years of Drucker's excavations, his work came to the attention of George Phebus, a collections assistant at the Smithsonian, who realized the archaeological significance of the Par-Tee site. Phebus and Drucker excavated the site for nearly 10 years, making it one of the most extensively excavated sites on the southern Northwest Coast.
